This Father's Day, we're not just lounging around; we're hitting the road and heading straight to the heart of the Sunshine Coast's creative scene—STUDIO 53, nestled in the Coolum Beach Industrial Estate. If you haven’t heard, this spot is where the magic happens, and today it's all about The Vintage Surfboard Exhibition, a fundraising event supporting the Noosa World Surfing Reserve. Presented by the legendary Owen Surf Art, this event is a must-see for anyone passionate about surf culture and history.

The main attraction? A killer Q&A session with two titans of the surfboard shaping world—Nev Hyman and our very own Sunshine Coast legend, Les Purcell. And to top it off, the one and only Phil Jarratt will be hosting. It’s going to be a deep dive into the craft, the stories, and the legacy that these legends have carved into the waves.

But it’s not just about the boards—though they are epic. Come check out the stunning vintage surfboards on display, and if you’re keen, maybe even snag one for your collection. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or just appreciate the art of a well-crafted board, there's something here for everyone.
